9、强烈行动的时候了。辨析：句型it / that is / was the first /second / third time + that-clause ，that从句中的谓语动词要求用完成体：It is the first time that I have visited such a wonderful place. That was the second time that she had acted as interpret for Ameriecan tourists.而句型it is (high / about) time + that-clause 的句型中，that从句中的谓

10、语动词要求用过去式。答案：B54. If only the patient _ a differenttreatment instead of using the antibiotics, he might still be alive now.A. had received B. receivedC. Should received D. were receiving考点：虚拟语气句意： 如果病人采取了不同的治疗而不是用这种抗生素的话，他或许现在还不会死。辨析：if only 意为“如果就好了”，通常与表示假设的动词连用。如：If only I had met her earlier. 如果

11、早点遇到她该多好。If only it would stop raining. 要是雨会停下来该多好。本句暗示，病人已经死亡，所以应该用表示过去时间的虚拟式。答案：A55.

12、算做”，例：They are to be married in May.他们打算五月份结婚。而“be + 不定式的完成体”表示“本来打算做却后来并未实现的动作”。例：He was to have left the next day, but was delayed by rain. 他本想第二天走的，却被雨给耽搁了。答案：B56.

13、到她时她肯定是50来岁。辨析：情态动词 + 不定式的完成体表示对过去发生的动作的一种推断。本句中的when I first met her at the conference 说明动作发生在过去，因此只有must have been符合时间要求。must + 不定式的完成体用于表示对过去发生的动作的一种肯定推断，其含义是“一定”, “想必”。例：They must have been here last night. 他们昨天晚上一定来过这里。其他几个答案一般不用于表示对过去发生的动作的推断。答案：D57. It is not _ much the language asthe backgro

14、und that makes the book difficult to understand.A. that B. asC. so D. very考点：so 与 as的搭配句意：使这本书难懂的原因与其说是其语言不如说是其背景知识。辨析：这是一个强调句型的句子，去掉it is that 后，其结构便成了The language is not so much as the background to understand. 句中的“not so much as ”意为“与其说是不如说是”，例：He is not so much a writer as a reporter. 与其说他是个作家，不

15、如说他是个记者。另外，否定句中，我们既可以用not as as , 也可以用 not so as , 但两者有一点区别。not as as 表示两个比较项不一样, 比如：He is not as old as I.= We are not of the same age. 即既可以他比我大，也可以我比他大。而 not so as 中的so 表程度，如果说He is not so old as I. 就是说他没有我的年龄大，即他还没有老到我这么老的程度。答案：C58. The committee has anticipated theproblems that _ in the road con

16、struction project.A. arise B. will ariseC. arose D. have arisen考点：时态句意：该委员会预料到了在公路建设工程中会出现的问题。辨析：anticipate的意思是“预料；预计（imagine or expect that something will happen）”， 因此从句中的谓语一般为将来时间,而will可以表示预测将来。如：They anticipate that they will have several applicants for the job. 他们估计会有好几个人来申请这个工作。At this stage, w

17、e cannot anticipate what will happen.在目前阶段我们还无法预料将会发生什么。答案：B59. The student said there were a fewpoints in the essay he _ impossible to comprehend.A. had found B. findsC. has found D. would find考点：时态句意：学生说他发现在这篇论文里有几点不能理解。辨析：主句中的“说（said）”为过去时态，而“发现”的时间应该在“说”之前，因此宜选表示“过去的过去”的时态形式。答案：A60. He would hav

18、e finished his collegeeducation, but he _ to quit and find a job to support his family.A. had had B. hasC. had D. would have考点：时态句意：他本该完成大学学业了的，但是不得不退学去找工作以养家糊口。辨析：would have finished表示在过去时间内可能完成却未完成之事，是虚拟式。had 表“过去”，即在在过去找工作。例：We could have provided him with a detached house when he came, but he ha

19、d specially asked for a small flat. 我们本可以在他来的时候给他提供套房的，但他特别只要了一个小单元房。表过去的“不得不”时，常常用”had to”.答案：C61. The research requires more money than_A. have been put in B. has been put inC. being put in D. to be put in考点：than的用法句意：这项研究需要的钱比已经投入的要多。辨析：than可用作关系代词，或称为准关系代词，引导一个定语从句。在 than引导的从句中，than可用作主语、宾语和表语。例

20、：There were more candidates than expected. 候选人比预期的多。He spends more money than he earns.他入不敷出。本句中的than的句中作主语，than前的名词是money，为不可数名词，因此，than从句中的谓语动词应为单数形式。答案：B63. It is not common for there _problems of communication between the old and the young.A. being B. would beC. be D. to be考点：there be用法句意：老年人和青年

21、人之间的交流有问题并不是常见的。辨析：there be结构常用于表示时空间的“有，存在”。there作语法主语， 但be作谓语时，其形式要随后面的名词的数而变化。本句中的主谓语是it is not common，后面是由for引起的介词短语结构，因此there be结构要用其非谓语动词形式的there to be或there being。一般说来，在介词后面用there being，如: John asked about there being another meeting. 约翰要求再开个会。但介词for是个列外，因为for的一个语法功能就是用于引导带逻辑主语的不定式，如：It is ne

22、cessary for students to practice speaking English whenever and wherever. 所以there be结构在介词for后面也要用there to be这种非谓语动词形式。答案：D65. It is absolutely essential that William _ his study in spite of some learning difficulties.A. will continue B. continuedC. continue D. continues考点：虚拟语气句型句意：尽管威廉在学习上有些困难，但他还是很有

23、必要继续学习。辨析：“it is + 表示命令、请求、要求、建议等意义的形容词 that从句”是英语中一个表示虚拟语气的句型，该句型要求that从句中的谓语动词用原形。常用于该句型的形容词有：important, necessary, imperative, natural, urgent, essential, appropriate, desirable, insistent, obligatory, probable, vital, advisable, better, keen, preferable, possible, incredible, funny, concerned, r

24、idiculous, unthinkable, 以及短语no wonder, a pity, not right等。答案：C200851. Our association, which has consistently pressed for greater employment opportunities for the disabled, will publish _ proposals in the near future.A. their B. our C. his D. its考点：代词一致句意：辨析：由which后的has可以知道句子的主语association是单数，故表复数概念

25、的A和B可以不考虑。association意为协会，是组织或机构，所以宜选D。答案：D52. Had Judy been more careful on the maths exam, she _ much better results now.A. would be getting B, could have gotC. must get D. would get考点：虚拟语气句意：如果朱迪数学考试时更仔细一点，那她现在的成绩就会好多了.辨析：这个虚拟语气的句子考查两个内容，一是虚拟语气的倒装形式，二是混合时间的假设。答案：D54.
